Experience

I primarily tutor elementary through college age students in writing and reading skills. My approach is creative and structured, adapting to the individual needs of the student. I particularly enjoy the challenge of working with students who do not naturally love English. We determine a strategy that is both fun and educational (writing should be fun! Yes, even Shakespeare had fun).

Additionally, I will work with any student up to the eighth grade level, on math, science, history and general studies. My ACT scores were in the high 30's, though I am not a natural test taker, and I enjoy working with students on test-taking strategies.

Though my degree was in English, I am studying to become a psychologist. I will happily tutor any student up to the collegiate level on psychology. Both my academic and practical experience, make me an ideal tutor in the field of psychology. Those AP tests are tricky, but absolutely manageable and invaluably important for a well-rounded college application.

A prospective client should anticipate our time together as structured, but flexible. I am open to feedback and

Hobbies

My interests primarily lie in the mental health sector. I currently manage a non-profit that helps college students address mental health concerns on their campuses. I work regularly with students who have some mental health concerns, and I often mentor their allies. In my free time, I play the guitar, sing, sail, ski, practice yoga, and of course, write.
